Introduction: Usually a diabetic patient seeks the advice of ophthalmologist only when the ocular condition is in an advanced stage and it becomes a challenging task for an ophthalmologist to treat the condition and to give satisfactory results. It is therefore essential to examine the fundus of every diabetic patient periodically at a regular intervals to detect early changes. So the present study was done to know the incidence of retinopathy in type - 2 diabetic patients with its onset, severity, sex distribution, early diagnosis and visual prognosis and to analyse the fundus changes of diabetic patients with relation to the duration and other associated risk factor like hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, alcohol. Material and methods: This study was conducted in 100 patients who attended the OPD of Regional Eye Hospital, From Feburary 2014 To July 2015 and were diagnosed with Diabetes mellitus. Fundus examination was done with indirect ophthalmoscope after dilatation of the pupil. Results: Diabetic retinopathy changes seen in duration of diabetes about less than10 years were 22.2%. In diabetics of duration about 11-15years, the retinopathy changes were seen in 29.2%. In duration more than 16 years, in 64.2% of cases the retinopathy changes were seen. 20 cases were NPDR, 8 cases were PDR, 3 cases were advanced diabetic retinopathy. 20% cases of NPDR were with CSME, 37% cases of PDR were with CSME. The most common cause of diminution of vision were cataract and macular edema. Conclusion: The risk factors for DR in Male gender are poor glycaemic control with long duration of diabetes, high blood pressure, sedentary life style and unhealthy food preferences.
